[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 260664, member: 324"] I appreciate your insights. The Freestones looked good, but I didn't know much of anything about the Toray fabric. Too, you're not wrong about "get what you pay for". I hate the idea of dropping $500 on a pair, and having them still leak, but I also get tired of soggy feet. Between spring and fall, I fish probably 40 nights per year. Usually no more than 3 hours or so at a shot. I can't get a pair to stay waterproof for even one season, and I get two or three years out of a pair, before they're leaking bad enough to replace. I have tried to repair them, but it's like trying to get toothpaste back into the tube. Maybe this fall, it'll be time to bite the bullet and step up to a real pair of high end. Still not convinced about the bootfoots versus stocking foot. For warmth, sure. But for comfort, well, they'd have to be awfully good boots. Standing still, on rocks for a couple hours, takes some decent footwear. I don't need the front zipper, and for an extra hundred, it's just one more spot to potentially leak. [/QUOTE]
